Two more Northern Goshawks today, apparently the snow brings them out =
into the open to hunt. No doubt visibility would have been very poor in =
the woods today.=20



The first was an adult at Hirtle Cove in Oakland Lunenburg County. It =
flew over my car exhibiting the typical accipiter flap-flap glide, grey =
below with wings that were quiet pointed during the glide.

The second was perched in the tree overlooking my feeders when I arrived =
home. This one was an immature bird making it the third individual to =
visit my yard this winter.

I have pictures of both posted to flickr; they are of poor quality but =
should be OK for ID purposes.

There is also one shot of the Common Gallinule taken 10:48 today =
(January 5th) at Red Bridge Pond in the open water near the daycare.
